Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


 

In an interview prior to the election, Davi told me, “The polarizing discord has grown… The press is bamboozling the American people.  We’ve become a nation of Keith Olbermanns.”

 

Davi recently told the online site, The A.V. Club, “Hollywood is a very liberal community, for the most part. There are a lot of guys that are also conservative that are frightened or fearful of being able to come out.  I’ve been a little more outspoken th an most, but the fear of it is that you get marginalized…”

 

Despite pressure from the cocktail party crowd, Davi has been a strong advocate against Islamo-fascism and has appeared on numerous political talk shows.  Davi told me that many people that do understand the threat of Islamo-fascism still put party above country.  Davi talked about a liberal friend that read Oriana Fallaci, the now deceased Italian writer that dared to tell the truth about Islamo-fascism despite numerous threats against her life.  “In spite of that, the Democratic Party trumps concerns he has over the threat of radical Islam,” said Davi.

 

Many actors simply parrot liberal talking points and are considered intelligent or deep without ever having to defend their views.  Davi actually participates in the policy debate on higher level.  He sitson the Board of Directors of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Steering Committee of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University.  He is also a confirmed speaker for the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February.

 

Davi’s The Dukes, which opens nationally on November 21, has racked up numerous awards, including the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay at the Monte-Carlo Film Festival, the Queens Spirit Award for Best Producer and Best Director, among others.  Rarely is a movie with this pedigree able to be enjoyed by such a broad audience, but The Dukes tells a wonderful story.  Its message is universal – if you wait for perfection, you’ll miss your chance.

I've always liked Davi's acting. It's good to know he thinks as well as acts.
